PADRE: a parallel asynchronous data routing environment

Description: Increasingly in industry, software design and implementation is object-oriented, developed in C++ or Java, and relies heavily on pre-existing software libraries (e.g. the Microsoft Foundation Classes for C++, the Java API for Java). A similar but more tentative trend is developing in high-performance parallel scientific computing. The transition from serial to parallel application development considerably increases the need for library support: task creation and management, data distribution an… more

Asymptotic technique for the far field pattern of a dipole in an infinite stratified medium

Description: Modern antennas especially arrays are being placed in layers of materials on complex environments. This technique produces aesthetically pleasing structures if necessary, allows for more freedom in structure planning, and can improve antenna performance. In the past, buried antennas have been studied by numerous authors such as in Reference. Recent work on this subject uses spectral and/or numerical moment method formulations. For high frequency analysis it is important to find efficient and ac… more

A Look at the AP2 Beamline

Description: Some recent work has been done to look at improvements of transporting beam from the Lithium Lens to the Debuncher. This work has been done using the beamline modeling tools developed by Dave McGinnis. These tools, console application P143 and optimization code running MAD repeatedly on the Beam Physics UNIX system, were first used to match the Twiss and dispersion parameters at the end of AP2 to the Debuncher. Imaginary trims were then added to AP2 to study where additional trims could be used… more

Axions from wall decay

Description: The authors discuss the decay of axion walls bounded by strings and present numerical simulations of the decay process. In these simulations, the decay happens immediately, in a time scale of order the light travel time, and the average energy of the radiated axions is <w{sub a}> {approx_equal} 7m{sub a} for v{sub a}/m{sub a} {approx_equal} 500. <w{sub a}> is found to increase approximately linearly with ln(v{sub a}/m{sub a}). Extrapolation of this behavior yields <w{sub a}> {… more

AMRSim: an object-oriented performance simulator for parallel adaptive mesh refinement

Description: Adaptive mesh refinement is complicated by both the algorithms and the dynamic nature of the computations. In parallel the complexity of getting good performance is dependent upon the architecture and the application. Most attempts to address the complexity of AMR have lead to the development of library solutions, most have developed object-oriented libraries or frameworks. All attempts to date have made numerous and sometimes conflicting assumptions which make the evaluation of performance of … more

ROSETTA: the compile-time recognition of object-oriented library abstractions and their use within user applications

Description: Libraries arise naturally from the increasing complexity of developing scientific applications, the optimization of libraries is just one type of high-performance optimization. Many complex applications areas can today be addressed by domain-specific object-oriented frameworks. Such object-oriented frameworks provide an effective compliment to an object-oriented language and effectively permit the design of what amount to essentially domain-specific languages. The optimization of such a domain-… more

MPX: software for multiplexing hardware performance counters in multithreaded programs

Description: Hardware performance counters are CPU registers that count data loads and stores, cache misses, and other events. Counter data can help programmers understand software performance. Although CPUs typically have multiple counters, each can monitor only one type of event at a time, and some counters can monitor only certain events. Therefore, some CPUs cannot concurrently monitor interesting combinations of events. Software multiplexing partly overcomes this limitation by using time sharing to mon… more

Generalized System of Preferences

Description: The Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) extends duty-free treatment to certain products that are imported from designated developing countries. The primary purpose of the program, which the United States and other industrial countries initiated in the 1970s, is to promote economic growth and development in these countries by stimulating their exports. The program was reauthorized by the 106th Congress, retroactively from July 1, 1999, through September 30, 2001. The 107th Congress will face… more

A national risk assessment for selected hazardous materials transportation.

Description: This report details a quantitative risk assessment conducted for transportation of selected hazardous materials on a national basis. These materials include six toxic-by-inhalation (TIH) chemicals, which account for more than 90% of the total TIH transportation-related risk; liquefied petroleum gas; gasoline; and explosives. For TIH materials, both highway and rail transportation are considered, and two classes of incidents are examined--those that occur (1) during a traffic accident or a train… more

Benchmarking optimization software with COPS.

Description: The COPS test set provides a modest selection of difficult nonlinearly constrained optimization problems from applications in optimal design, fluid dynamics, parameter estimation, and optimal control. In this report we describe version 2.0 of the COPS problems. The formulation and discretization of the original problems have been streamlined and improved. We have also added new problems. The presentation of COPS follows the original report, but the description of the problems has been streamlin… more

The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990: Opportunities for Promoting Renewable Energy; Final Report: December 11, 2000

Description: This report explores key aspects of the intersection between the nation's clean air and energy goals and proposes alternatives for encouraging renewable energy in the context of the federal Clean Air Act (CAA). As with most environmental statutes enacted in the early 1970s, the 1970 CAA embraced a somewhat rigid ''command-and-control'' approach to achieving its clean air goals. Although effective, this approach has been criticized for discouraging creative and cost-effective solutions to reduci… more

Development of the table of initial isolation and protective action distances for the 2000 Emergency Response Guidebook.

Description: This report provides technical documentation for values in the Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances (PADs) in the ''2000 Emergency Response Guidebook'' (2000ERG). The objective for choosing the PADs specified in the 2000ERG was to balance the need to adequately protect the public from exposure to potentially harmful substances against the risks and expenses that could result from overreacting to a spill. To quantify this balance, a statistical approach was adopted, whereby… more

INTEGRATING A BILINEAR INTERPOLATION FUNCTION ACROSS QUADRILATERAL CELL BOUNDARIES

Description: Computational models of particle dynamics often exchange solution data with discretized continuum-fields using interpolation functions. These particle methods require a series expansion of the interpolation function for two purposes: numerical analyses used to establish the models consistency and accuracy, and logical-coordinate evaluation used to locate particles within a grid. This report presents a new method of developing discrete-expansions for interpolation; they are similar to multi-vari… more
